Salts are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base:
- salts may be soluble or insoluble in water
- water solutions of salts may be acidic, basic or neutral
- salts may be ionic compounds
Salts are ionic compounds.
Salts are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base: - salts may be soluble or insoluble in water - water solutions of salts may be acidic, basic or neutral - salts may be ionic compounds
Characteristics of bases are: bitter in taste, soapy feel on fingers, mostly react with acids and precipitate salts, turn red litmus paper blue, contain metal oxides or hydroxides.
Various salts are added to the mix:Copper salts - blueStrontium salts - redSodium salts - yellowBarium salts - greenCalcium salts - orangeCobalt salts - blueCryolite - yellowLithium salts - bright red
- carbonates are salts.- oxides are...oxides not salts- hydrogencarbonates are salts
Water, Salt, Heat Acid-base neutralizations are exothermic. acid-lemon, vinegar base-soap slippery stuff neutral-water
They are ionic salts.
Radioisotopes are not salts but salts may contain radioisotopes.
Characteristics of bases are: bitter in taste, soapy feel on fingers, mostly react with acids and precipitate salts, turn red litmus paper blue, contain metal oxides or hydroxides.
Examples: organic or inorganic salts, basic or acidic salts, natural or artificial salts etc.
bath salts
This is a mixture of salts.
